Internship Spotlight

Jie
Corporate Marketing

Design, UC Davis

“One of the main projects I got to work on was creating an infographic for 3D sensing diode lasers. This was the first time the company utilized an infographic, so it was very exciting to work on something so different from other projects. I was given a chance to design something new and refreshing, yet still, speaks “Lumentum” to the audience. Also, I worked on graphics created for tradeshows and corporate events.”

“This is my first internship outside of on-campus ones, and it’s a great opportunity for me to learn not only how to be a better designer, but also how to work in a corporate setting. So far the program has been great, and both my manager and my mentor are very helpful when I have questions.”

Kenny

Finance, San Francisco State University

“Lumentum has taught me so much in the short time that I have been here. I work on projects in Finance related to financial planning and analysis, R&D, and manufacturing. I have had the privilege to be treated as a member of the team which has allowed me to get hands on experience that is necessary for a career in Finance.”

“The culture at Lumentum is welcoming, yet has also challenged me to test the skills from my education. I am grateful to have been a part of this year’s intern program.”

“For my project, I am working on testing a new spectrometer for use in our labs. Using coding, such as Python and LabVIEW, and mechanical skills I have been able to analyze the differences between what we currently use and the new spectrometer.”

“The experience so far at Lumentum has been very exciting. I have found myself challenged in ways unlike at school, while still feeling like my knowledge gained in the classroom is useful to both my manager and team. The opportunity I received this summer has been amazing so far, and I look forward to keep making strides in this internship.”

Deborah
